How buying a gun in Spokane works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Washington law allows.

Washington has the heaviest purchase rules of any state we ship into. There is a ten-day waiting period on firearm transfers, a state background check run by the Washington State Patrol, and for semiautomatic rifles a minimum age of 21 plus proof of a recognised firearms safety course completed within the last five years. Magazines holding more than ten rounds may not be sold in the state, and the sale of a long list of semiautomatic rifles is prohibited by name and feature. A permit-to-purchase system has been enacted and phases in on a published schedule, so check the current regulations with the State Patrol before you order.

Dealers in these communities all work for Spokane-area buyers:

Carrying a gun in Spokane County

Washington requires a concealed pistol licence to carry a concealed handgun, issued by your local police chief or the Spokane County Sheriff after fingerprints and a background review, with a minimum age of 21. Open carry is lawful without a licence for adults in most places but is prohibited at permitted demonstrations and on the state capitol grounds. Licences run for five years. Schools, courthouses, jails, bars, childcare facilities, restricted areas of airports and posted property are off limits. Washington amends these rules often, so check the current regulations.

Hunting near Spokane

Fish and Wildlife manages hunting through numbered game management units with separate modern firearm, muzzleloader and archery seasons. Most deer tags are sold over the counter and the best elk and quality deer hunts are allocated by special permit draw. The modern firearm general deer season opens in mid October and runs roughly two weeks in most units, with white-tailed deer dominant in the northeast, mule deer through the central and southern units and blacktail west of the Cascades. State magazine limits apply to what you can buy here. Check the current regulations for your unit.

Spokane County sits in the northeast Washington game management units where white-tailed deer are the main quarry, with Mount Spokane and the surrounding state and national forest land carrying most of the public access. Check the current WDFW regulations for your unit and season type.

Washington's purchase rules, training requirement and magazine limit make a real difference to what can ship here, and many local shooters keep a close eye on how state law is changing before they order.

Buying a gun in Spokane: common questions

Can I buy a gun online and pick it up in Spokane?

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Spokane Valley, Cheney, Liberty Lake, Spokane or anywhere in Spokane County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.

Is there a waiting period in Washington?

Yes. Washington applies a ten-day waiting period to firearm transfers, and the state runs its own background check through the Washington State Patrol.

Can I buy a standard capacity magazine in Washington?

No. Washington prohibits the sale of magazines holding more than ten rounds, so we cannot ship one to a Washington address.

Do I need training to buy a semiautomatic rifle?

Yes. Washington requires proof of a recognised firearms safety course completed within the last five years and sets a minimum age of 21, on top of the state's list of prohibited models. Check the current regulations.

Can I use an AR-platform rifle for deer?

In many states yes, in calibres such as .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, 6.5 Grendel or .308 Winchester. Some states allow .223 or 5.56 for deer and others do not, so check the current regulations on legal calibres before you buy.

What does an FFL transfer cost in Spokane?

Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
